I think pp is not only for debug. I guess someone use it for logging, for example. So, I think global configuration is dangerous, ---------------------------------------- Feature #12913: A way to configure the default maximum width of pp https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12913#change-62164 * Author: Yusuke Endoh * Status: Feedback * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Akira Tanaka * Target version: ---------------------------------------- How about having an easy way to configure the maximum width of a line of `pp` output? Currently, `pp` accepts the maximum width as an optional argument: pp(big_array, $>, 120) However, this is obviously too long for a useful debugging-purpose method like `pp`. Even worse, we must add the fragment "`, $>, 120`" to all calls to `pp`. I don't feel this is reasonable. The patch attached provides `PP.default_maxwidth=` and `PP.default_maxwidth`, which can be used to configure the default setting of the maxwidth. PP.default_maxwidth = 1 pp([1, 2, 3]) #=> [1, # 2, # 3] Akr-san, what do you think? ---Files-------------------------------- pp-default-maxwidth.patch (1.05 KB) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
